Tags: terminal-game, tui, rust, arcade, cli-game

Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 6, Documentation: 7, Utility: 5)

Mt is a collection of arcade-style games (Breaker, Paddle Battle, Snek, Alien Raid) playable directly in the terminal, built in Rust using Ratatui for TUI rendering. It's interesting because it brings polished, physics-driven gaming to the terminal with a shared engine, optional sound effects, and easy installation via Homebrew or Cargo, turning downtime during compiles into fun.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, sysadmins
